Safety Precautions You Should Take When Camping

When you are on your camping trip along with your family you want to make sure that you can enjoy yourself and relax. The best way to do this is to be prepared. Safety is a key factor when you are on a camping trip. There are many precautions you need to consider, and a lot of planning that you must do before going on your camping trip. Camping is meant to be fun for the whole family but dangers do lurk when you're in the outdoors or woods.

When planning your trip you should research the area you are planning to vacation in. On the date you have planned for you camping trip, you should check to see what the weather is going to be like. You should also check where the nearest hospital is that has an emergency room. Make sure that you take a first aid kit with you.

First aid kits are important when camping in case someone falls or develops a rash or any skin irritations. Insect repellent should also be taken as well as citronella candles or torches. Radios can be helpful if there is a storm develops. Camping outside in a tent can be adventurous, or even dangerous depending on weather conditions. This is why your choice of campground should have a ranger or personnel on site. Many have personnel on site to make sure that animals do not wander near tourists camping area. Be aware of potential dangers from wild animals in the area where you are staying.

Also when going camping, you should have communication devices such as two way radios to pass out to your family if separated. However, most of us have cell phones. Make sure that your cell phones have coverage in the area where you are camping and that all batteries are fully charged. Camping is supposed to be safe and fun for the whole family. All there left to do now is enjoy your camping trip.

Orlando Travel-Getting There and Getting Around

By far the most popular means of getting to Orlando is by air.

Orlando International airport is one of three airports serving the metroplex. It handles 31 million passengers a year and is one of the top airports in the country consistently voted one of the top 5 in the country for customer convenience. It is serviced by more than 37 carriers with more than 60 non stop arrivals (not to mention all the connecting flights) from US and international destinations daily. There are private charter carriers as well. Sanford Int'l airport is home to a small fleet of Int'l carriers.

Orlando is located in east central Florida on Interstate 4. A lot of vacationers from the southeast find it easy to drive to Orlando. The interstate highway system certainly makes it easier.

Amtrak runs a passenger trains to Orlando. There is even a car train that starts in Lorton VA for those who want their own car but don't want to drive to Orlando.

Unless you are staying at Walt Disney World (WDW) you will need a car. There are taxis, limos, buses, horse drawn carriages too. For the easiest way to get around, get a car. Just be aware that under the best of circumstances traffic is very congested just like any other city this size.

If you are staying at WDW everything that you might want to do is within walking distance and the transportation system of WDW is available. The WDW transportation system is by bus, monorail, water taxi, or ferry. You sacrifice some freedom for big savings on gas insurance, parking, and of course the rental fees. It runs to and from all Walt Disney properties well into the night. Remember though Walt Disney World is 47 sq. miles and is only part of Orlando. That's a lot of ground to cover.

A lot of the bigger hotels offer shuttle service to the theme parks and the airport-just be careful it may or may not be free so do your homework.

The decision on getting a car may be the most important decision of your stay in Orlando.

Even if you are staying in WDW you may still want to get a car. There are several things to take into consideration in making this decision. They would include:

---Time of year. The busier times of the year create longer lines waiting for ground transportation.

---Where you are staying. Proximity to where you want to spend your time is a factor.

---Length of stay. You can do almost anything for a day or two, but if your stay exceeds that shuttle hopping is not a fun sport.

---The convenience factor. Let's face it having a car is convenient and exudes freedom to do what you want when you want to do it.

---Size and makeup of your family. Think about the stroller etc and the little ones on and off the shuttle bus. Get the idea? Been there done that-NO THANKS!

Take the ideas and suggestion above to heart because transportation is a critical part of your vacation fun in Orlando. Making the wrong decision on getting a car could ruin your stay.

Weight Loss Over 40 On Buck Rogers Surgery Videos

It is important to remember that weight loss is a battle for life. These videos show that even if you are rich and famous, weight loss is still a problem. Gil Gerard had all the money needed to fight being overweight but was losing the war. Here is a man who was a heartthrob back in the 70s. Until his surgery, he was slowly dieing from the diseases caused by being overweight.

Major surgery like gastric bypass should be the last option to save your life. Anytime you go under the knife and you are sedated, your life is at risk. So before you consider any life changing surgeries, do the research on it.

Ask These Questions

  1. What are the risks?
  2. How will it affect my life?
  3. What will I have to give up?
  4. Do I have to do this the rest of my life?
  5. Can it be reversed?
  6. What is the dead rate?
  7. What can I eat?
  8. What I cannot eat?
  9. Do I have to take nutritional supplement the rest of my life?
  10. What will be the permanent affects on my weight loss?
You should be able to answer each one of these questions before considering gastric bypass surgery. What you do not know could kill you.

To qualify for surgery, most insurance companies require a 2 year medical weight loss record. Your weight must be proven to be life threatening . Morbid obesity is defined as 100 or more pounds overweight or a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or more. This alone is judged by many states insurance guidelines to be life threatening. The patients are between the ages of 18-60 years old. They must have a complete understanding of the risks and real benefits caused by this surgery.

Most Insurance Companies deny your first claim. Always submit an Appeal Letter within 30 to 60 days of the denial. The cost of the surgery is not cheap ranging from $15,000 and up.
